Summary: "The Navy Eternal: Which is the Navy-that-Floats, the Navy-that-Flies and the…." by “Bartimeus” is a work that appears to be a historical account or memoir written in the early 20th century. This text likely explores the multifaceted nature of naval warfare, focusing on the different divisions of the navy—surface ships, aircraft, and submarines—integrating personal and collective experiences of naval cadets and officers during this transformative period. Through its narrative, it seeks to capture the spirit, camaraderie, and challenges faced by those who serve in the Royal Navy. The opening of the work introduces the River Dart and vividly describes a scene with naval cadets enjoying a summer afternoon on a small boat. This setting serves as the backdrop for their conversations, which reveal their aspirations and beliefs about naval warfare and technology. The readers initially meet a character referred to as Harker, a stern yet caring figure who oversees the cadets' training on the training ship "Britannia". As the narrative progresses, it touches on the cadets' reflections and interactions with authority, setting the stage for their eventual journeys into the broader world of naval service. Thus, the beginning illustrates a mix of youthful ambition, camaraderie, and the underlying tensions of military life, laying a foundation for the themes of duty and sacrifice that are likely to resonate throughout the book.
